The Buffalo Bills re-signed quarterback Tarvaris Jackson on Friday, sending another message to Ryan Fitzpatrick that he must compete for the starting job next season.

“I spoke with Ryan and Tarvaris both and told them we would have an open competition at the quarterback position—similar to what we will do at all our positions on our team heading into our offseason work,” said new Bills coach Doug Marrone, via BuffaloBills.com. “I believe that our players will embrace this challenge.”

Re-signing Jackson does not preclude the Bills from adding a quarterback in the draft or in free agency. With the No. 8 pick, the Bills could gamble on taking a quarterback that high if someone they like emerges between now and the draft. One name to watch is Ryan Nassib, who played quarterback for Marrone at Syracuse. If Nassib is still available when the Bills make their second-round pick, he could be Marrone’s choice to groom for the future.

Over the past two seasons, Fitzpatrick has not secured his position as the Bills’ starting quarterback moving forward. He is 11-19 in that stretch with 39 interceptions vs. 48 touchdown passes.
